I assumed that we were to only use what was on the list (except for cardstock), so that's what I did. It was so tempting to add some ribbon. I have to admit, flowers are not my 'go to' embellishment. I don't know why. So if I'm going to put a flower on a card, it needs to be a little different, hence the leather flower. It already had the pearl in the middle. I bought the flower on etsy a while ago. I sort of followed a layout done by Stampingout back in November for a Christmas card.

Very cool!!! Super duper great job with this challenge. I don't know why I had to complicate things in my mind. I love how you used the leaf embossing folder and your flower is really pretty with the single pearl. I really like your card.
